   the Alps (okay, the Brynderwyn Hills)

Of falling water in the circle next
Suchlike the rumble done by hives around,

When three spirits together changed their treks,
Running, out of  an horde just passing there
Under...

To thoroughly look at the open deep,

The Prophecy:

An ordinary December morning
extraordinary hopes in white,

Foams
In the Ganges.
Forays the volga.

In the Amazon
Mucks the Nile.

In myriad moulds

Swung through my leaves
Danced with my soul,
And as we touched 
Our skin quivered
Tears were shed
As hands of Zues 
Which so tenderly caressed my every need
Breathlessness swept over my body,

You my...

How perfidious and how cruel a city can be,

A lofty and elegant one
With my roots deep in the earth
A crown of cloud bestowed on my dome

Where's that ancient land where civilization began?
There...this disconsolate poet was born:
to tell whatever wasn't told on his return,
and to choose his tomb under the shade of a pine;
to be, somehow, comforted by the canary's song,
